ACTION YEAHH

[projections]

[Shirou sees Archer hanging out at Rin's place and he just shrugs. He didn't come here to pick a fight but seeing Archer still makes him grouchy. ]

Hey Archer, can you sense any Servants nearby? [This is totally not about Rider disappearing...nope.]

[swordboning]

I can usually see them long before I sense them.

[Joys of Archer class.]

Why? Is this about Lancer?

[projections]

No, it's not.

Rider suddenly disappeared and Sakura considered asking you for help. [She was really desperate man!]

What about Lancer?

[swordboning]

She's Sakura's servant. Just use a Command Spell to teleport her to her side. If it fails, she's no longer around.

[Is there seriously a lack of common sense here?]

And Lancer is around. Try not to tempt him into attacking you unless he tries to steal Sakura away. Then please, do what you want.

[projections]

Rider must be gone then.

[>Shirou
>Common sense
yeah probably. He's accepted the fact that she's gone now and Sakura will need to do the same.]

I'll stay out of trouble. Lancer won't attack me unless I provoke him right? [He can only hope so...]

[swordboning]

Probably not but he may try to steal your girlfriend.

[projections]

He won't.

[His reply is instant like his life depended on it. Shirou please]

[swordboning]

If you mean that he would prefer not to, untrue. If you mean that you'll stop it, I'll accept that answer.

how the fuck am i still awake its like 7am...

[projections]

I won't let anyone steal Sakura away.

Do you hear me Archer? [protect the girlfriend at all costs!]

[swordboning]

I'm not contesting that, idiot. So stop acting like it's a challenge.

[projections]

I'm not acting like that. [He kind of is...]

You're an idiot. [Maturity, where is it?]

[swordboning]

Don't be a child. And if you do have to be forceful with that Servant, just take my advice and stay out of striking range. Swords won't help you with him.

[AKA: Learn to Archer.]

[projections]

Knowing that much will give me an advantage, but I'll need to train more.

[He'd prefer to just sit at home and be with Sakura but sometimes fighting can't be avoided.]

I won't even last two seconds in a fight against a Servant.

[swordboning]

What have you been doing all this time?

[projections]

I'm doing what I've always been doing.

Taking care of Sakura.[Did Archer expect a different answer? ]

[swordboning]

And I've been taking care of Rin. Yet you don't see me making excuses on why I haven't brought myself to peak performance.

[projections]

Archer...[Shirou was gonna have an outburst but instead he's just heavy sighing.]

You better be taking care of Tohsaka. [He sounds way too mad!]

[swordboning]

Don't blame me for your shortcomings in your ability to manage time. I'm capable of doing multiple things at once.

[projections]

Whatever you say Archer. [He's clearly not listening.]

I didn't come here to argue with you so let's not waste anymore time on this.

[swordboning]

If you insist. [On being an idiot.]

[projections]

[Oh, that's weird. Saber's usually with Rin and Archer so he wonders why she's not here.]

Did Saber go out today? I haven't seen her at all.

[It seems like Archer would know so it doesn't hurt to ask.]

[swordboning]

Saber's gone. Permanently. Don't bring it up to Rin.

[Rin can't hide her feelings as well as Archer can.]

[projections]

All right, I won't mention it to Tohsaka. [It's the least he can do.]

Aren't you worried?

[swordboning]

What reason would I have to be worried? Saber can handle herself just fine.

[projections]

You have every reason to worry over Saber.

Do I need to spell it out for you?
